FORT WORTH, Texas -- ESPN College GameDay will make its first-ever visit to TCU and Fort Worth Saturday when the fourth-ranked Horned Frogs host No. 14 Utah. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

ESPN's popular show, featuring hosts Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard, will set up in the Campus Commons. Air time is 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

TCU will be playing at the site of GameDay for the second time in four weeks. GameDay was in Provo, Utah, on Oct. 24 when TCU defeated BYU 38-7.  With GameDay's visit to Air Force this past weekend, this will be the third time in four weeks the show has taken place at a Mountain West Conference member.

I attended the University of Maryland and graduated from Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, GA.  My wife graduated from Kent State University and SMU law school in Dallas.  My daughter seriously considered going to TCU but decided to attend Texas State University in San Marcos where she graduated in 2005. 

TCU became my "honorary" Alma Mater when they were they were members of Conference USA.  I was a member of the Texas Association of Sports Officials and officiated high school basketball and volleyball for ten years.  TCU hired me for a couple of years to officiate some scrimmage games and I also worked as a volleyball line judge for Conference USA games at TCU.  I secured season tickets 3 rows behind the TCU bench when coach Jim Christian was hired from Kent State to become the Men's basketball coach. 

TCU is the pride of Fort Worth and I look forward to attending the big game on Saturday night!  GO FROGS
